A petition

My boyfriend Victorsito asked me a favor. He asked me to write a text on his art work considering that  I want to go to study MA in art history and theory, and I need to strengthen my writing about works of art and artists. It is for this reason that I decided write about their artwork but in English.

Victor Hugo Bravo works with essentials elements along their artistic journey,  are elements formals; conceptuals and materials. Within the formal elements we see camouflage deployment in various forms that mutate in the history of his work. Other important formal element is the use of political icons, with graphic resources very powerful. Also  the using of abject images, of war, of death and erotic tendency.

Respect of the conceptual elements, exist differents concepts and inquests of possible senses that determine the work. A conceptual relation of the work is the link between father and government, rather between father and law or social institutions, as control statutes. This concepts are opposed into other concepts applied in the work as instinct and abject (abyecto). The work reflects the repression of the institution on the human instinct.

Respect of the material elements, the refuse and object of cull are the main elements that make up the work, with trash the artist creates large installations, the grand format of the works is another important feature, the most works in two and three dimensional include large space. The enamel is the principal paint that the artist uses for his work, with enamel the artist  generates a new "big toy" with camouflage, mental maps with a mixture of geography and camouflage and new installations with weapons of torture.
